theboyangel Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 2 episodes (out of 4) into Bloodlands on BBC iPlayer. pretty much a run of the mill crime drama set in Northern Ireland but not too bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the final episode (4) was so implausible it ruined the series. So bad it was the subject of many angry/annoyed/wtf messages on a WhatsApp family group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well good luck with that, it’s entertaining but the last episode had me wondering why I bothered. I stress it will keep you entertained so is probably worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Been told to watch "Unforgotten", this one totally escaped me. First season already done, good story and packed with well known British actors from the last few decades. Worth a look. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First season already done, good story and packed with well known British actors from the last few decades. Worth a look. I’ve watched all episodes from all 4 series. Very enjoyable with decent storylines and realistic scenarios and acting. I originally thought Sanjeev Baskar’s acting wasn’t convincing in the first series but he really improves with every series. Unforgotten might be a bit ‘gentle’ for some in that it lacks the tyre screeching car chases, police colleagues shouting at each other in frustration, swearing (or repeated GODDAMMIT! in 24), and team corruption of many other crime dramas, but it’s definitely more realistic and therefore more believable in my opinion. Even the actors look simply average, unlike many American shows where most of the ‘good guys’ could be models or ex-models - annoyingly spoiling the realism for me. Hopefully there will be a series 5 of Unforgotten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so as it’s not reliant on one character so I’m sure they’ll cope without Tiddles the Police Station cat. Edited April 5, 2021 by brommy Questions are clearer with a question mark!

maqroll Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I started Counterpart on Amazon prime. Looked pretty slick, but I shut it off as soon as they revealed their gimmick. Disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Been watching The Walking Dead on and off for the past year or so. While initially gripping, it started to tail off around season 4/5 and I lost interest. Randomly picked it up again recently after being really bored and I have to say, the end of season 5 and now all of season 6 has been the most intense TV I've ever watched. Just watched the episode where Negan is first introduced and man, speechless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the episode where Negan is first introduced and man, speechless. there’s a couple really great story lines from 7 til now intertwined with some of the more tedious ones, if you’re still a fan the amazing moments will more than outweigh the dull. the most recent season is struggling to find a direction though, it feels like it’s preparing for a huge change soon. I’ll probably always watch it even though I’ve said I’m done with it 2 or 3 times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
